Lot 202
1833 N-2 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with a few wisps of darker olive brown toning on the obverse. Hints of light bluish steel overtone can be found on both sides. No defects, but the slightly uneven toning on the obverse distracts from an otherwise beautiful cent. M-LDS. The die cracks are clear, the stars are drawing to the rims, and the reverse is rotated 30 degrees CW from the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Graded MS60 by Noyes, his photo #28828. Our grade is MS60 as well. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $1,100 - UP
